Like the woman who persists in masquerading
Is man. and then whlneS because treated with
the roughness that men suffer from each other, so
the anarchists who have demanded bloodShed as
the only means OF settling accounts between
classes socially antagon1zed are making pitiful
fuss because the law has decided that their blood
must be shed as well as the blood OF the OdtouS
police. There Is no pathos in the situation OF
these convicts. Their whole attitude Is cowardly
and sneaking, and provocative OF no sentiment
save disgust In a healthy mind. The very fact OF
their choice OF Justice Miller as the medium for
bringing their case before the United States Su-
preme Court, because he Is understood 10 he OPP
posed 70 capital punishment, is enough TO con-
denim them with every man OF right feeling,
whether ne sympathizeS with their cause or not.
There is nothing heroic in this kind OF warfare In
which one party deals all the blows, and saves
itself from their return, not by sk1lful parrying,
but by covering, crnging and getting under
cover. Yet this Is the anarchists notion OF
heroism.

Ride and Lee.

There used to be a fashion in Connec-
tic 1t which was very cosycuie.t for
general usage and assumed the impor-
lance of a local custom among the
youngsters in families where there were
more riders than steeds. It was exactly
what its name implied-'ride and tie
Two young men who wanted the same
horse at the same tine divided him with
Solomoz-like wisdom in this way: One
started out in horseback and one. ON foot.
The horseman rode a certain part of The
way when he came 10 a place agreed
upon as o ''tie.n There he tied the
horse and resumed his journey on foot.
When the foot passenger reached the
s'tie' he mounted the horse and rode ON
to the next tie, passing his comrade as
ne trudged along on foot, but with no
special %elation, as he knew it would BIO
his turn to ''tie" as it now was to ride.
1t was a boys device, but grown men
availsd themselves Of it.-Detron Flee

The Cs1T

In his Souvenirs of St. Petersburg
and London" Count Vizthum dick
stadt gives the following account of a
visit to the Winter Palace: The mast r
of ceremonies who accompanied me ~
manned at the entrance, undecided
whether he was expected to be present
at the audience. Without saying o word
the Gar responded with an energetic
motion of the first finger to the mute
question OF the courticr, pointing to the
door. We were alone, and here I was
en- tete-a-tete with the most powerful
monarch of the globe. In spite of his
fifty years, the classic Greek features
and the gigantic stature of the Gear
Nicholas had preserved their youth and
strength. Phidias would have found
in him a model for a Jupiter or q Mars.
He wore the -undress uniform OF an
officer of the guard. ] noticed that his
head was almost bald, and that his
forehead, which was low and narrow.
formed one and the same line with his
nose. The back of the head, where
~phrenologists locate the force of will,
seemed largely developed. His whole
appearance had something in it that was
cheva'resque, even imposing, AMI Ithen
understood how this COLOSSUS standing
before me had been able to quell, simply
with a motion of his hand, the reyo.u-
luton that Threatened to break out on
the occasion of the cholera epidemic. En-
veloped in his mantle, he went out
alone among the thousands of persons.
who, assembled on the Place d'Isaac,
were crying out against the government,
and accusing it of having poisoned the
wells. Nicholas, suddenly letting fall
his mantle, commanded by agesture, the
crowd to fall on their knees, and then
shouted with a voice of thunder:
"Wretches, the wells arc not poisoned:
you have poisoned yourself by your sins.
Pray God that he pardon you, and that
he may deliver us from the pest"
Cheers of enthusiasm issued from the
Threats of the captiyated multitude.
This grand scene came back to me when
I looked into the eyes Of tho Gar.
There was an uncertain expression about
these eyes, and the nervous twitching of
the corners Of the mouth indicated fail |

MGifse'S Deer Ra7tae,

The deer range covered by the almost
unsettled forest stretching miles into the
INTERIOR of the State from the eastern
portion of the coast line embraces an
area of 500 square miles. This vast tract
has been bereft of the greater part of its
valuable timber by lumbermen, and the
forest is now in n state of reproduction.
Through this region deer wander in such
numbers that, in the opinion of Major
Boyd, there is no other deer range in the
country equal to it. Houses away from
the coast are found only at rare inter-
walls, there being whole townships with
not even a road running through them.
To this attractive hunting ground every
year a great number of sportsmen como
from outside the State to hunt the deer
in q lawful manner TO prevent the
extinction Of the deer, the State law
provides that they shall not be hunted
with hounds. 'still hunting" said
Major G. H. Boyd of the United States
Coast Survey, "nevcr will driYe Tho
deer from the State white the forests
last, but the cry of the dogs frightens
the deer from the ranges, and they will
not return for a long time when once
frightened off," The game wardens in
the execution. of their duty, whenever
they have been informed that a party of
hunters have gone into the woods with
hounds, give chase and cruise until the
camp is discovered, and then woe to the
dogs if they are kept for killing
deer; the wardens make short work of
them.

BURNING the Diamond.

The ancients were as sure no dia-
monds could be burned as they were
that none could be broken. Adamas.

nor force. 1t was not till 1909 that De
Boot suspected its infammability, nor
till 1878 that it was naturally burned.
In 1904 Aycrani and Targioni of
Cimcnto, at the instigation of Cosmo Ill,
the Grand Duke of Florence, burned the
diamond in the focus of concentrated
sun rays, where it wa seen to crack.

had tried to learn tho secret of its CON-
position, and, like a true martyr, it had

itself out like q sun. Forty-four years

the diamond to be some s'unctuous BODY
coagulated," perhaps the vegetable
secretion of the banyan tree, better to
shake than the Pagoda,) a magnificent
diamond was burned, on July 26, 1771,
in the laboratory Of NJ. Macquer, and in
the presence, among others, of a we'll
known Partisan ~jeweler, M. LIE Blanc,
who, Notwithstanding what he had just
seen, stood forward and declared the
diamond to be indestructible in the fur

blemishes, and that they had
never suffered the slightest injury in
the process. Thereupon the two
chemists, d'Arcet and Rouelle, de-
manded the experiment should be made
before them IN The spot, with the re
